US seeks to contain escalation with efforts on multiple tracks : Analyst
Ibrahim Fraihat, an associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says the US is giving a message to Iran by ordering a guided missile submarine and an aircraft carrier group to hasten its arrival to the Middle East. “The US is working on multiple tracks,” he said. “One is posturing in the region and sending a very strong message to Iran that ‘We are ready not only on the rhetoric level by making statements, but also by sending aircraft carriers and submarines to the region in order to be ready and defend Israel’,” the academic said. He reminded that the international community is preparing for the August 15 truce talks on the war in Gaza. #USMiddleEast #IranTensions #MilitaryPosturing #AircraftCarrier #SubmarineDeployment #WarOnGaza #IsraelMilitry #TruceTalks Credit to : Al Jazeera English
